Michael, you're an asshole.
#1 was sending out a message titled "FS: Heathkit EC-1" when you had no
intention of selling it.
#2 was forwarding private correspondence to the list where no one fucking
cares that I think you were not being completely honest in your email.
As much as I hate seeing this type of thing happen, I'm really glad it's
happened to someone else so I can comment on it as an uninvolved third
party.
Taking a private message and posting it to the list shows that:
a) you have little, if any, integrity
b) you have no respect for the mailing list community
c) you don't feel you have any strength in your argument, so you bring it
to a public forum perhaps in the hopes that people will rally to your side
and support you
Whatever the reason, pulling this kind of shit only shows what sort of an
immature and insecure asshole you are. If any sort of conduct deserves a
physical beating, this is it.
Private mail is sent as such for good reasons, and it is neither
appropriate nor welcome for anyone to take a private message and post it
to a public forum under any condition. If your intent is to embarrass
your adversary, you are only serving to embarrass yourself and demonstrate
what a dick you are. Otherwise, pick your excuse from either A, B or C
above and hang your head in shame.
So you deliberately trolled the list, perhaps to
"generate interest" in
your future Ebay listing, and I think that sucks. I stand by my assertion
that you have no integrity.
I concur with this assessment.
